BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- A grand jury has indicted Justin Brochure on 65 counts of possessing images of child sexual abuse, according to Brunswick County Superior Court records.

Brochure, 36, of Kingstown in Cleveland County and the son of Oak Island Mayor Cin Brochure, is accused of 35 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and 30 counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, according to the records. According to warrants at the Brunswick County court house, Brochure reportedly had multiple images of children, as young as 6 years old, engaged in sexual acts.

The warrants did not detail how much of the illegal material Brochure allegedly had and were spread across 21 individual case files.
